About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Pilot Study of Romiplostim for Conditioning Regimen-Related Thrombocytopenia After High-Dose Therapy and Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, romiplostim, helps low platelet count caused by the standard blood cancer treatment of chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation. This study will also look at whether romiplostim can decrease the number of times the participant needs to return to the clinic for platelet transfusions to treat their low platelet count. In addition, the researchers will determine how safe it is to give romiplostim to people with blood cancer who have received treatment with chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RomiplostimDrug

    Romiplostim 3.0 mcg/kg SC on Day +1 and Romiplostim 2.0 mcg/kg SC on Day +8 after HDT-AHCT. Beyond Day +8, patients will be treated weekly until platelet count is >50,000/mcL, without any platelet transfusions in the prior 48 hours. All doses after the second Romiplostim dose will be titrated as per Table 3, based on weekly CBC/platelet counts. Patients will receive a maximum of six weekly doses of romiplostim.

Study groups in NCT04478123
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
romiplostimExperimentalPatients will be enrolled prior to admission for High-Dose Therapy and Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HDT-AHCT), and they will undergo their planned HDT-AHCT for their respective hematologic malignancy as per institutional standards. Regardless of the conditioning regimen received, all patients will receive romiplostim 3.0 mcg/kg SC on Day +1 and romiplostim 2.0 mcg/kg SC on Day +8 after HDT-AHCT. Beyond Day +8, patients will be treated until platelet count is >50,000/mcL, without any platelet transfusions in the prior 48 hours. All doses after the second romiplostim dose will be titrated as per Table 3, based on weekly CBC/platelet counts. No patient will receive more than six doses of romiplostim, even if platelets have not corrected by Day +42.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Romiplostim in people with Multiple Myeloma and Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 7 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Days Post HDT-AHCT Requiring Transfusions or Grade 4 CTCAE Thrombocytopenia (time frame: up to 42 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04478123, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Feb 2024.
